Which car is accelerating?

• A car that is not moving

• A car that rounds a curve at a constant speed

• A car traveling at a constant speed

• A car that has a set speed of 60mph

• Because the elephants are the same size
• Because they are both pulling the same amount of force in opposite directions
• Because they are elephants
• Because they are pulling away from each other.
